Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for a right knee strain, finding that there was no evidence linking the Veteran's current condition to his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, based on the absence of chronicity and the Veteran's denial of knee complaints after service, outweighed the Veteran's lay reports of continuous symptoms since service.
